But it’s really all about the charging infrastructure and the seamless technology of the car. No one comes even close."
Norway is big and sparsely populated. Having access to supercharging stations really makes several hours difference on your roadtrip if you exceed the car’s range
I believe in balancing quotas and rebuilding social structures to be more inclusive. That’s something that takes several generations to bear fruit.
Shaming or bullying anyone for what kind of body or privilege they were born into is where I draw the line.

Oh, good to know! I will look at other options then
Subjectively speaking, after switching to Piefed I feel like “the internet is back”.
Engaging conversation, good tools for filtering the front page to your liking, and the audience seems generally speaking more mature. I do expect that to change if the platform grows in size.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I installed both Organic Maps and Streetcomplete on my phone now.
Pocket used to be on my list, but it was unfortunately shut down. Now Joplin web clipper took its place. I still miss Pocket.
This article was right up my alley. I’ve been considering buying a cheapo smartwatch. I suppose this one couldn’t be used as a mp3 player for jogging though.
Glad to hear I’m not alone with these thoughts!
I propose, as a counter movement, automatic engagement; Instead of “liking” or “upvoting”, leave a comment every time you see something you support. And try to abstain from commenting on ragebait or otherwise intentional attention seeking. If enough people start doing this, the algorithm should start adapting to prefering more substantial or positive material, right? I know it sounds naive, but worth a shot!
Yeah, it seems fishy. I find it hard to believe every 5th desktop in Finland runs linux, while only about 10% MacOS.
Tobias Huch is not a part of the German government. This post title is nonsense.
I understand what you mean, and agree that not everything needs to be put in words. At the same time though, it’s really healthy to expose yourself to others even if you just write “I like the way you formulated this.” or “Makes sense, I hadn’t thought of it like this before”. That way it turns into a real discussion - a bit like in the real 3d world.
Up/ downvoting is basically anonymous and adds nothing to the discussion.
And, sometimes, other users misunderstand our comments, and then we need to respond to them to get our point through. All of this is a healthy way to challenge our thinking.
The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can’t expect much to change there.
Amazing! I did not expect that outcome from my comment
I’m no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up “engagement” it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This “attention economy” needs to end somehow.
That function doesn’t seem to function properly btw. I have tried with “meme” and “politics” and communities with those words in them still keep popping into my feed on PieFed.
I appreciate you putting it into words instead of just upvoting
Up/Downvoting is so 2015. Instead, comment on any interesting posts, and especially the ones with zero comments. This platform is meant to be about discussion, and not just mindlessly sharing links or memes.
I, personally, am more inclined to check out a post if it has at least one (non-bot, non OP) comment.
I had the same experience with that movie! By the way, please try not to kill spiders…
Is this a humble brag?
I understood they let anyone charge only on paper, using higher fees as a barrier for non-teslas. I might be wrong though.
